scale.components: Custom lattice axis scales

In latticeExtra: Extra Graphical Utilities Based on Lattice

Description

Convenience functions for drawing axes with various non-default tick positions and labels.

Usage

xscale.components.logpower(lim, ...)
yscale.components.logpower(lim, ...)

xscale.components.fractions(lim, logsc = FALSE, ...)
yscale.components.fractions(lim, logsc = FALSE, ...)

xscale.components.log10ticks(lim, logsc = FALSE, at = NULL, ...)
yscale.components.log10ticks(lim, logsc = FALSE, at = NULL, ...)

xscale.components.log(lim, logsc = FALSE, at = NULL, loc = NULL, ...)
yscale.components.log(lim, logsc = FALSE, at = NULL, loc = NULL, ...)

xscale.components.log10.3(lim, logsc = FALSE, at = NULL, ...)
yscale.components.log10.3(lim, logsc = FALSE, at = NULL, ...)

xscale.components.subticks(lim, ..., n = 5, n2 = n * 5, min.n2 = n + 5)
yscale.components.subticks(lim, ..., n = 5, n2 = n * 5, min.n2 = n + 5)

Arguments

lim	scale limits.
...	passed on to xscale.components.default or yscale.components.default.
logsc	log base, typically specified in the scales argument to a high-level lattice plot.
at	this is ignored unless it is NULL, in which case nothing is drawn.
loc	Ignored if NULL. Otherwise, vector of values between 1 and 9 that form the template for tick mark locations after being scaled appropriately. For example, loc = c(1, 3) leads to tick marks at c(0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, 10, 30) and so on.
n	desired number of intervals between major axis ticks (passed to pretty.
n2, min.n2	desired, and minimum, number of intervals between minor axis ticks (passed to pretty.

Details

These functions are intended to be passed to the xscale.components or yscale.components arguments of high-level lattice plots. See xscale.components.default.

xscale.components.logpower draws tickmarks at the same locations as the default, but labels them more smartly using superscripts for the power (using expressions).

xscale.components.fractions labels the tickmarks as fractions.

xscale.components.log10ticks puts major tick marks at powers of 10, and minor tickmarks in between.

Examples

xyplot((1:200)/20 ~ (1:200)/20, type = c("p", "g"),
  scales = list(x = list(log = 2), y = list(log = 10)),
  xscale.components = xscale.components.fractions,
  yscale.components = yscale.components.log10ticks)

xyplot((1:200)/20 ~ (1:200)/20, type = c("p", "g"),
  scales = list(x = list(log = 2), y = list(log = 10)),
  xscale.components = xscale.components.logpower,
  yscale.components = yscale.components.log10.3)

dd <- as.Date("2000-01-01") + 0:365
xyplot(0:365 ~ dd, type = c("p", "g"),
  xscale.components = xscale.components.subticks,
  yscale.components = yscale.components.subticks)
